Opinion on air cleaner
I am trying to make a decision on a air cleaner to go with Big Shot Staggered and PCIII. My choices are the SE stage 1, K&N and the Arlen Ness Big Sucker. Does anyone have a opinion on these three AC's.

I have the K&N intake and air filter. Haven't had the others.
With the exception of the strange rubber velocity stack, it seems a quality component.
I am happy with it, and got a good price from Jamie at Fuelmoto when I bought my PCIII from him at the same time.

K&N is good quality used on dirt track race cars and motors lasted all season.
good to have two, one to use while the other one is cleaned dryed and reoiled

The Arlen Ness Big Sucker is my choice.
I think its the best after market intake and the filter can be cleaned and re oiled like a KN filter.
You can also slap a kn in later if you choose.
The price is also best.

I just installed the K&N RK 3909 on my Heritage. It would have been an easy install if I didn't have to go back and redo a couple of steps. I guess that I'm not good at following instructions.
I agree with rhubarb that the rubber veloicty stack is a POS. I think if I had it to do over again I would go with the S/E A/C.

I have the AN Big Sucker, but as long as you move away from the paper filter, i'm sure they all serve the same purpose to get more air into the motor.

RE: Opinion on air cleaner
I've got a big sucker. It was easy to install and out of the three you listed I think it's the best bang for the buck. I got my big sucker with my Power Commander for $425.00 from a local shop. There are some nicer looking ac's out there from Zippers and Doherty Machine but I couldn't tell ya if they are really that much better for double the cost of the big sucker.
